Hotel Derek is being closed down. And yet it is somehow still available to reserve? No amenities are available, there were hardly any workers, everything was dirty, it smelled so bad, there was a bandaid in the refrigerator, the bathtub would not drain. Everything was in terrible condition and it should not be available to guests.

This property was out dated. The pictures did not represent the property. The pillows were hard and flat, the bed was hard. No stop or body wash. No black out curtains. Fridge in room didn't work. No amenities available, but they didn't email until it was too late to cancel. This was NOT a 4 star experience.

Disliked: Amenities
The staff were friendly, but what i didn't like was no one told us due to them renovating at the end of the month none of the amenities weren't available, which left us scrambling to find somewhere to eat breakfast. It was no pool or fitness center to decompress at the beginning or end of each day. Maybe once the renovations are done it will be a much better place to visit

There was no water (something about the city), the pool was closed (no notice while reserving). The great pictures of a lively bar/restaurant where fake (the bar/restaurant) was closed. Overall, the stay was OK, but far below what they promised and far below what one would expect for two hundred dollars per night.

DO NOT STAY HERE! We missed a flight at IAH and booked Hotel Derek for the night The rate was $$$ parking. Upon arrival the parking garage was filthy and seemed very unsafe so we chose valet park. We also noticed that several guest seemed to be there on an hourly rate! When we entered the hotel a strong smell of gas or something was awful. We pre paid through Expedia or I would have demanded a refund. The room was filthy… dead roaches, non working bathroom door and just not clean. I know this hotel has been bought out, but they should close until the renovations are complete instead of advertising as a 3 star boutique hotel

DO NOT BOOK THIS HOTEL PEOPLE. If you are out of towners and dont kno Im telling you now this property has went down tremendously. The area is great but the hotel is a BIG NO. The pictures shown are 15 plus years ago with the same dirty nasty furniture. The room furniture is torn up and worn down. I live here and didn't kno until after booking and checking in how poorly this hotel has went down and also closing down soon. I was able to get a refund rite away and book else where.
